SUMMARY:De draaischijf
LOCATION:Capitole Gent
DESCRIPTION:The Antwerp Opera plays a prominent role in Tom Lanoye's acclai
 med novel De draaischijf. The protagonist\, Alex Desmedt\, is obsessed wit
 h the theatre. In pre-war Antwerp\, he works his way up from actor and dir
 ector to theatre director -- alongside his wife and muse Lea\, a Dutch-Jew
 ish actress. Alex also seeks to be an innovator in form\, by introducing a
  turntable as an extra stage upon the stage. Shortly after the start of th
 e German occupation\, he is appointed director-general of the Antwerp thea
 tres\, which naturally includes the opera. For Alex\, it is like walking a
  tightrope -- between offering resistance and paying lip service -- while 
 his brother and opera conductor Rik chooses wholehearted collaboration. Ac
 tor Peter Van den Begin presents De draaischijf as a monologue set to symp
 honic music by Steven Prengels\, and flanked by fellow artist Jan Decleir.
  In Tom Lanoye's evocative language\, he delves unabashedly into the tragi
 c lives of Alex\, Rik and Lea. Thus\, De draaischijf -- as well as a recon
 struction of a dark chapter in Antwerp's cultural life -- also becomes a p
 ersonal reflection on life in the theatre. The complete timing can be foun
 d a few days before the concert on www.capitole-gent.be.\n\nBoletos: https
